#5. The Mausoleums

The above ground tombstones in New Orleans have become something of a legend.

Dating back to 1789, the oldest cemetery in New Orleans is the Saint Louis #1…which also houses the tomb of Marie Laveau the “Voodoo Queen of New Orleans”.

#3. Alcohol, Music and Bar Hopping OH MY!!

Whether you’re celebrating Mardi Gras, ringing in the New Years (like we did), or just there for a short visit, it is guaranteed you will find a drinking experience to fit your distinct palette.

Of the dozens of bars we wandered into during our New Years in New Orleans trip I had three favorites that stood out above all the beer, whiskey, bourbon, tequila shots, and Hand Grenades(New Orleans Most Powerful Drink®) that were had:

The Bourbon Bandstand, Jazz Cafe, and Tropical Isle.

Bourbon Bandstand- Live Music

The Hand Grenade

Jazz Cafe

Liquor, Liquor Everywhere!!

#2. Bourbon Street

Our first encounter with Bourbon Street was on New Year’s Eve and let me just say wow! This street is 13 blocks filled with electric energy from one end to the other.

Located in the French Quarter and lined with eateries, shops, bars and epic bead throwing this street is a definite Must Do in New Orleans.

#1. The Food

The trip in its entirety was absolutely delicious.

New Orleans streets smell of the enticing offerings that are southern, Cajun, and mouth-watering.

From the Cajun dog at Butcher to the oysters and gator bites at LeBayou Restaurant and Oyster Bar, to the even more scrumptious Cajun charbroiled oysters at Bourbon House… I could be in New Orleans a month and still not get my fill of the traditional New Orleans style food.
